I know that serializing an object in a field of a record is not good for long time persistence, because just a little modifications to the class can make the old unreadable...

But my question is: are there possibilities that putting a short[] in a field will cause me problems in the future with new versions of jboss or jdk?

I'm using CMP2.0:

/**
* @ejb:persistent-field
*
* @jboss:column-name name="myarray"
**/
public abstract short[] getArray();
public abstract void setArray( short[] a);

Thank you in advance
